We also test their performance when picking up small residue, such as crumbs, and let each robot vacuum loose in a room full of obstacles, assessing how well it copes when manoeuvring under an armchair or behind a footstool, and how its coverage matches up to a regular vacuum cleaner.

For homes with both carpets and hard flooring, we recommend the Eufy X10 pro omni robot vacuum cleaner. It’s remarkably good value for a self-emptying and self-refilling model, and its mopping action applies pressure to a pair of rotating brush heads to actually scrub the floor, rather than dragging a wet pad across it.
